Volume 4 The First Kuroshio War Chapter 92 Vampire Ambition
Necrons are both undead and undead, is there any difference between them? Which ones are necromancy, and which ones are undead?
Scholars in the neutral capital of Paranzas have two different views on how to distinguish between necromancy and undeadness. One is distinguished by strength, and the other is distinguished by whether or not one has individual consciousness.
Scholars who distinguish by strength believe that the necromancers are high-level undead creatures, undead creatures that have advanced after the undead have accumulated enough dead energy. Therefore, only individuals who have completed the Dark Elemental Enlightenment and have the strength of the Silver Rank or above can be called Necromancy. All below the Silver rank are undead.
Another scholar argues that the line between necromancers and undead spirits should not be judged by whether they have completed the civilization of the dark elements, and cannot be measured purely by their strength, but by whether they have autonomous consciousness. Those who have autonomous consciousness, can think, and have their own desires are necromancy. Those who have no conscious mind, can only scream or have no other thoughts in their minds than devour flesh, are undead.
If you ask this question to Fang Qiuling, the son of the world and the descendant of Elune, then the answer will be different. Of course, Fang Qiuling's point of view is not new, but it has a bit of a sense of mud.
He believed that necromancy first needed to have a complete sense of autonomy. Other requirements can be lowered, but autonomy is the most basic requirement.
For example, the stitching monster named "Abomination". Hate the strength of having a silver rank, not only has thick skin and thick flesh, but also has infinite strength, which is very difficult to mess with. But they only eat in their heads, and they never get enough to eat. In simple words, it is simple-minded and well-developed in all fours.
Abomination is the elite of the undead army, often serving as the commander's personal guard, and is used to attack the fortified at critical moments. However, because they do not have a complete sense of autonomy, although they are strong, they are still cannon fodder, at most they are a little more powerful high-level cannon fodder. When necessary, it is said that it will be abandoned, and it will not be heartbroken at all. Call them "necromancy", the real necrons will cry!
Second, undead creatures that have completed the Dark Elemental Civilization must be called Necromancy. Completing Elemental Enlightenment is a symbol of the Silver Rank, that is, the strength needs to reach the Silver Rank before it can be called "Necromancy". Those who have a complete sense of autonomy, but whose strength is not up to standard, cannot be called "necromancy" either.
For example, the demon is an advanced level of ghouls, and some of them have autonomous consciousness. Even a handful of ghouls are self-conscious. However, even if they are self-conscious, they can only be called "undead", far less than the term "necromancy".
Self-conscious demons and ghouls are very difficult to deal with in skirmishes, and their forbearance and viciousness can chill even the most ruthless thugs. However, their strength stopped at the Black Iron Rank, even if they had no hope of touching the edge of the Silver Rank. And if you can't reach the silver level, then you are still cannon fodder, not even high-level cannon fodder. The magic weapon of the undead army to win is quantity, and they will not have the opportunity to use their strengths when they advance and retreat together in the army.
In addition, Fang Qiuling believed that there were some special races that could be directly regarded as "necromancy" as long as they had self-awareness, without the need to have the strength of the silver rank. For example, the legendary Flame Man, the undead, and the vampire who claim to be a blood family......
Vampires are special in that they are almost indistinguishable from the living if one excludes the blood-sucking fetish and the lack of a heartbeat. But the fact that vampires are undead is not disputed by any intelligent life, not even the most critical scholars.
Elune's history has been marked by a kingdom of all vampires, even if it was short-lived and fleeting. Elune's history has also seen vampires take over the human kingdom of the ruling class, but this kingdom did not last long and soon fell.
Today's vampire clan should be considered to be in decline, except for the Duke of Transval in the Dark Country Mamo, the other vampire dukes are no longer famous, and even whether they are still built here needs to be marked with a question mark. But the decline is the decline, and the vampire still thinks very highly of himself, still praises himself as a nobleman in the dark, and still lives a life that he thinks is elegant and gorgeous.
Distri Osa Lester Van Transval, Viscount of Blood, a member of the new generation of the Family of the Blood Duke Transval. Although he is not very old, he is in his early 300s, but he has a very high rank and good strength, and he has a lot of requirements. As the youngest descendant of the Duke of Blood, it has always longed for drunken gold...... No, it's a day of blood drunkenness.
Vampires, as the name suggests, are a group of people who use blood as food. Distri has a great passion for what he eats, that is, blood, and an extremely persistent attachment. According to the internal narrative of the blood clan, that is, its "thirst for blood" is much more serious than that of other clans.
Thirst for blood is a disease endemic to the blood family, which is a series of symptoms caused by the inability to drink blood all year round. Specifically, the IQ decreases a little, the temper becomes a little worse, and the desire to destroy becomes a little stronger, not to mention physical discomfort and insomnia. In the later stage of thirst, the more serious ones will become thirsty blood disease, and the patient will have symptoms such as decreased strength, dizziness, loss of reason, etc., and even go crazy directly.
In fact, from a certain point of view, thirst, thirst and malnutrition have many similarities. So it's okay to think of it as malnutrition peculiar to the bloodline, or it's okay to just look at it as starvation. Therefore, the treatment is also very simple, only a small mouthful of blood is needed, and it will be cured immediately without medicine. Take a few more sips and everything will be fine.
But the key is to have blood. There is putrefaction in the body of the deceased, venom, that is, there is no blood. Blood is something that only the living have, and certainly not on the dead. and to search for the living in the land of Mamo, where the skeleton of bones is everywhere...... It's not for nothing, there are always some captivities in the Duke of Transval's mansion like blood slaves. However, the quantity is certainly not large, and the blood that can be provided is extremely limited. Distri has a high rank, but there are many vampires who can't stand it, so there are very few who can get a share of him.
As a foodie, in order to realize his "blood freedom" as soon as possible and be able to freely evaluate the deliciousness of blood, Distree has used his brains a lot. When he heard that his army had successfully landed in the Kingdom of Karthas, what he thought of was not to open up the territory, but to live in the kingdom of the living! So it didn't hesitate to hop on a ghost ship that was about to depart, and rushed straight to Op Harbor.
- Blood slave, blood slave! I want a blood slave! The more the merrier!
Distree let out a cry of longing from the depths of his heart. But when it arrived at Op Harbor, its heart immediately cooled by more than half. Op Harbor had long since been reduced to death by the Ghost Ship landing operation. Not to mention a living person, not even a living dog can be found.
It was not good to be a teacher, but Distri was not discouraged, and immediately decided to become self-reliant and work hard. It directly approached the commander-in-chief in charge of the invasion and asked for a position similar to the "General of the Great Army of the Southern Misty Lake", and then led a "large army" to start sweeping along the road to the south of the Misty Lake.
The beginning of the sweep was very happy. A steady stream of humans being captured, and naturally a steady stream of fresh blood was sent to Distri. The young blood clan Meimei had a few full meals, and finally felt the beauty of life, and "blood freedom" seemed to be close at hand.
And with the gradual advancement of the front, the "army" under the command of Distree began to be insufficient, and even began to reduce the number of personnel for a time.
In the face of the undead who suddenly appeared outside their homes, most of the residents of Mist Lake were extremely frightened, and there were not a few who turned around and ran away desperately. But in the end, there are brave people who are unwilling to leave and stand up, and they raise their weapons to fight the undead for the sake of their families and their homes. The unprepared Viscount of the Blood Clan suffered a lot of losses, several squads were wiped out by the rebellious living, and the daily supply of delicious food began to dwindle. This made the young Viscount of the Blood Clan extremely angry.
However, even though the residents who took up arms worked very hard and fought against the skeletons of the invading homeland without fear of life and death, their actions still could not change the one-sided situation on the south bank of the Lake of Mist......
The number of undead under Distri's command was far from comparable to the army of undead besieging Fog Castle, but it was still easy and easy to deal with a group of adult men who had only received rudimentary militia training. Out of anger and dissatisfaction, the Blood Viscount took matters into his own hands, easily pinning down the rebels and hanging them one by one.
After destroying most of the rebels, the remaining living should be obediently blood slaves! The Viscount of the Blood Clan knew so. And because of the recent ingestion of a large amount of blood, it has become picky eaters, longing for a better quality blood source. For example, the blood of the virgin, for example, the blood of the caster, for example, ......
Just as Distree was thinking about how to improve his quality of life, something that annoyed him even more happened—another group of rebels appeared.
The new rebels seem to be bolder and stronger. They first raided the vanguard of the "Southern Route Army", killing all twelve stitch monsters they had high hopes for, and the accompanying zombies and skeletons suffered nearly triple-digit casualties. This was followed by the supply center on the "front line", where a large number of corpses and bones used to revive the low-level undead were burned, and the blood slaves who had not had time to be transported to the rear were also looted. Even the griffons of the rebels appeared in the skies above Op Harbor at one point!
- Is it tolerable or intolerable!
Distree was directly furious.
- How dare you snatch food! It's all alive!
The young Viscount of the Bloodline couldn't stand the fact that there were living people bouncing right under his nose, and he couldn't bear the fact that his daily delicacy had diminished. So he directly waved his hand and led the army under his command to pour out, striving to fight a battle!
